True Value,

True Value.
For the Enquirer.
The way l shall try to explain
value is by taking natures re-
sources and applying labor to
them:
Let me take lumber: We will
take tree that will cut 900 feet of
lumber; take two men fifteen min
utes to cut it down and cut it in
proper lengths for mill; working
at 20 cents per hour. This would
be 10 cents. Then thirty minutes
for man and team to haul to mill
at 90 cents per hour 20 cents;
then take 20 minutes to saw with
seven men in mill would be three
hours, average wages 20 cents per
hour would be 90 cents; then
thirty minutes to convey to rail-
road by one man and team, 20
cents, then fifteen minutes to load
on car, 5 cents; say fifteen min
utes to transfer from shipping
point to destination. 10 cents;
then thirty minutes to transfer
from Car to pile in yard, 10 cents;
then it is ready in rough at 45
cents per 100 feet. Under the
present system you pay S2.25 per
100 feet.
Then carrying farther you get it
planed. They charge 80 cents per
hundred when the actual time is
less than ten minutes.
Now | have given the value of
lumber as it is got out in this part
OF the country, where timber is
scarce, machinery very incomplete
and wages comparatively high.
Take timber country and COM
plete machinery and the cost can
be lowered from 50 to 70 per cent.
We are robbed of the difference
between 45 cents and S2.25. The
first is the worth" of the lumber;
the last the present false "ex-
change value" the difference is
+. 0. CoCHRANE.

he can better stand even that loss
than be branded with the name of
Socialist. Though his doctrine is
plainly Socialistic, and its out
come could be nothing except So
cialism to its fullest extent.
"He wants to temporize, to
make an effort to conciliate pub
lie opinion so easily outraged by
any suggestion of Socialism, but
they are brave and consist
ent and refuse to serve under
any except their own true col
ors. AT bottom they despise him
and his devices, though they have
remained uneasily under his lead
ership, and they will enter with
zest into the contest which he SO
audaciously Invites. They will
fight the harder because their bat
tie is for principle against a man
of whose fidelity to any principle
they have the most profound dis
trust.
ut will be very interesting to
watch the progress of this strug-
gle. The issue must have a very
marked influence on the fortunes
of the United Labor PARTY"

Starving Cattle.

There is now snow ali the way from
here to Kuna. On Reynolds creek it is
deeper than ever known before, being in
places as high as the tops of the fences.
Cattle are driven to the foothills and can
yons and, in many instances, are so poor
that it is with difficulty that they get out
of the way of stages. There being but
little feed, the losses to stockmen will be
very heavy this winter, many Of whom, it
is feared, will be next to ruined financial
Iy. Should cold weather now come, nearly
all the cattle will die. It is hoped, how
ever, that we will now have mild weather
and that the snow in the valleys will
melt and vanish, as that is the only chance
for stockmen to hold their own.-ldaho

Society in the Far Northwest Fort,
Years Ago.

The Hudson Bay company had just es-
tablished a trading post at Fort Rupert in
1913, when there appeared in the harbor
sixteen war canoes, whose occupants were
exceedingly happy. Victory had crowned
their efforts against their enemies, and
sweet content sat on every barbarlc face
there present. Not that the white new
corners had ever heard Of war, nor joined
in the shout of victory, but the American
way was Il trife different from the Euro
pean way. That was all but it was enough
TO shock the sensitiveness of those unac-
customed to sylvan slaughter. For instance
after landing and setting on each of six
teen poles one human head, taken from
each canoe as a specimen, the warrors first
learned that their isle was honored by the
| presence of a white woman (Mrs. Muir
to whom it was their custom to show
courtesy. There was nothing mean about
them. Inviting Mrs. Muir to their ghast-
ly display, they begged of her to accept
her choice of any two. Where could be
found in any primeval center of %civiliz-
| alton such delicate attention, such marked
| consideration toward a female yisitorfrom
savageism? Their latest, best, most high
ly priced possessions-the trophy of their
priceless success, they freely offered.
Doubtless the simple hearted warriors, ac-
customed only to the restricted killing of
their foes, would have been oyerwhelm-
ingly shocked on witnessing the slaugh-
tered thousands of a European battlefield
as was Mrs. Muir on beholding the poor
sixteen trophies of aboriginal powess.-

thing to have that thing started by SPAN.
1t would possibly have the effect 70 wake
the American people up to the fact that IN
the position they are in, they are perpet-
ually exposed to the bullying OF either
of a dozen Of petty powers. Inc
final result might be a change in the map
of the United States, which would include
Cuba. We are paying Cuba annually
about s55,00O,O00 for sugar. A wal that
would take the island in would not cost
more thar we pay every W years for
sweets. With that acc0 2plished. we
would never need any NO commercial
treaties with Spain. F. zen years
Spain has had one set of - avs IN
for England and another tor The Cnl1eo
States, and this has been solely becau. she
believed we were not prepared to assert
our rights on the ocean, Ii she would
o~nlysbegin the reprisal and coercion bust
ness the matter would be very swiftly ad-
iusted. But is it not pitable to see q once
brave nation so reduced that her people
are not content to swallow the lees from
the cup of her former glory and to think
they are quafing pure wine?-sa8 L0ke

The Interstate Law.

Minneapolis Tribune: Commissioner
Albert Fink is out in a two column let
ter explaining the long and short Of the
Interstate Commerce law. AS was to be
expected his letter is the outline Of an in
genious plan by which the railways can
avoid the operation of the clause. Mr..
Fink says in substance, that if a railroad
be in competition at a certain point 100
miles away, with a water route, it should
not be forced to carry freight to a point 90
miles where there was no competition, as
cheaply for 100 miles where it encountered
the the competition of the water way.
This is the same threadbare old story,
that a railroad shall take freight at losing
rates to a competitive point, and squeeze
the difference out of local rates. One OF
these fine days men of common sense will
ask why the railroads try to compete for
business which it ruins them to haul.

A New Scheme.

The ever active Marquis de Mores has
a scheme to own and control all the re-
tail butcher shops of New York city, and
furnish them with frozen meat direct from
the range. This is a big scheme and re-
quires capital and incessant work. The
dressed beef men of Chicago are not
alarmed over the announcement, as they
characterize the Marquis as full Of big
ideas,' and argue that the failure Of the
Medora plant is a sample of his enterprise.
The supply and control of the retail shops
in the large cities without the Intervention
OF middlemen is coming, and whether the
present scheme of the Marquis succeeds
or not it is sure to come, and there is no
Inherent impossibility in the matter, as it
now stands in the hands Of the Marquis.
Capital, energy and honest intention are
only necessary. We believe in the honesty
of the Marquis, and that he will succeed
if he runs his own shops, whether he buys
them or not-St0ckgroDers Journal

The Trade is Extinct.

IT was not more than five years ago that
buffalo robes by the hundreds OF thous-
ands were shipped from these northWes-
tern territories to eastern firms. They
ca lie from Montana, Wyoming, Dakota
and parts Of Colorado. Buffalo meat was
the standard diet during the winter IN
this locality and the hump Of a young
buff was pretty fair eating. Now the
buffalo is almost extinct IN the tinted
States, There are a few in the National
Park and Colorado has a bunch, out never
more will the hotel waiter ding in your
ears buffalo steak A Chicago firm
which formerly did q big business In hand
limo buffalo hides has not received q single
skin this season. Last year the firm hand
led about 1000 hides and the year before
that 100000. The skins are now sorth
about $50 apiece, and the fortunate owner
of a fine buffalo coat will in a few years
be more enyied than were it seal SKIN.
Since the trade in buffalo skins end robes
has died out out other materials have
taken their places, especially in the line
of carriage robes AMI the manufacture OF
oyercoats. 1t is said that the hides OF
young range cattle are now being tanned
in a manner similar to that whichs the but
falo robes underwent and that coats and
wraps made from a range animal of two
